So, maybe you've seen the Jane Market Bag a million times already, but this is the first time I've made one myself! It's such a great bag... it's large and the pockets on the front and back are going to be really handy.
The Sewing Summit is coming up in a few weeks and I'm so excited to be attending that event! I think I'll pack this bag with some sewing projects to work on there in the evenings.
I made a couple of changes to the original pattern for this bag. I made the straps 7" longer and I used fusible fleece inside to give the bag a little more structure and weight. The fabrics are already a home decor weight, so the fusible fleece just gave it a little more body.
I really like the pin tucks that you make on the corners of the bag. I wasn't sure about them at first, but I think it will be great because the lining gets sewn into place and can't shift around anymore.
We're having a great extra long weekend here. My oldest two kids head back to school tomorrow and I'm not sure who's more excited... me or them?! ;)
